WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congressional budget scorekeepers say a Medicare fix that Democrats included in earlier versions of their health care bill would push it into the red.

The Congressional Budget Office said Friday that rolling back a programmed cut in Medicare fees to doctors would cost $208 billion over 10 years. If added back to the health care overhaul bill, it would wipe out all the deficit reduction, leaving the legislation $59 billion in the red.

The so-called doc fix was part of the original House bill. Because of its high cost, Democrats decided to pursue it separately. Republicans say the cost should not be ignored. Congress has usually waived the cuts to doctors year by year.

Mons I've been deleting your posts that do nothing but attack people, like your obsession with Coach and his marital status.  I'm only leaving this here so you know that you need to cut this stuff out.  If you have nothing to add other than attacking someone, then please drop down to the alphabet boards.

Bech everyone here is used to Mons' idiocy. 

Stories and threads like this serve as a stark reminder that the msm, obama, and the rest of the marxists are lying about this disastrous bill.
